Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to extend the result of Barabanova (Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 122:827–831, 1994) on the global existence, uniqueness, uniform boundedness, and the asymptotic behavior of solutions for a weakly coupled class of reaction-diffusion systems on a growing domain with an isotropic growth. Numerical simulations are used to affirm and support the analytical findings.
